Chris Eubank Jr. has built a boxing legacy that stands strong alongside his famous father’s name. With an estimated net worth of $10 million in 2025, Eubank Jr. has shown he’s more than just the son of a British boxing icon. From becoming a champion in multiple weight divisions to earning huge fight purses, Chris has kept fans invested in his story, especially when he finally faced Conor Benn in a fight that echoed their fathers’ legendary rivalry.
Early Life of a Fighter
Born on September 18, 1989, in Hove, East Sussex, Chris Eubank Jr. grew up surrounded by boxing greatness. His father, Chris Eubank Sr., was already a household name in Britain, famous for his powerful style, flashy personality and historic clashes with rivals like Nigel Benn.
Growing up, Chris Jr. didn’t just rely on his dad’s fame. His parents sent him and his brother Sebastian to the United States, where they lived with a guardian, Irene Hutton, in Nevada. There, he attended Spring Valley High School in Las Vegas. The move put him right in the heart of America’s boxing scene, giving him a fresh start to build his own name.
Strong Amateur Foundation
Eubank Jr. began his amateur boxing journey in 2007 and wasted no time making an impression. After six fights, he became the Amateur Golden Gloves Champion for Nevada in his weight class. Two more wins later, he was crowned the Golden Gloves Champion for the Western US. By the time he went pro, his amateur record stood at 24 wins and just 2 losses, proving he had the discipline and talent to carry the Eubank name forward.
Turning Pro and Making a Name
Chris Jr. made his professional debut in 2011. He started strong with a TKO victory over Kirilas Psonko and kept up the momentum, winning his next 17 fights, 12 of them by knockout. His early run showed he had inherited his father’s iron chin and fearless style.
In 2014, he faced his first real test in a high-profile fight against Billy Joe Saunders. It was a close match, but Eubank Jr. lost by split decision. Many thought this might slow him down, but he bounced back quickly. In early 2015, he handed Dmitry Chudinov his first loss, winning the WBA interim middleweight title by TKO. He successfully defended that title against Tony Jeter later that year.
Climbing Up the Divisions
In 2016, Eubank Jr. added the British middleweight title to his resume when he defeated Nick Blackwell. The fight was stopped in the tenth round when Eubank’s power proved too much. He defended that title against Tom Doran before giving it up due to injury.
In 2017, he stepped up to the super-middleweight division and beat Renold Quinlan to claim the IBO super-middleweight title. He defended that belt against Arthur Abraham and Avni Yıldırım, proving he could fight comfortably at a higher weight.
Major Wins and Setbacks
Like any boxer with a long career, Eubank Jr. had his ups and downs. In early 2018, he lost his IBO super-middleweight title to George Groves by unanimous decision. He got back on track later that year, defeating JJ McDonagh in Saudi Arabia.
One of his biggest wins came in 2019 when he beat James DeGale by unanimous decision to reclaim the IBO super-middleweight title. He then moved back to middleweight at the end of that year, beating Matt Korobov by TKO to win the WBA interim middleweight belt.
Building the Rivalry with Conor Benn
If there’s one fight that boxing fans waited years for, it was Eubank Jr. vs. Conor Benn. Their fathers’ brutal clashes in the 1990s were some of British boxing’s most famous moments. The two fathers fought twice, in 1990 and 1993, with Eubank Sr. winning both times and adding fuel to an already fierce rivalry.
When the sons finally stepped into the ring on April 26, 2025, the hype was massive. Held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, the fight drew huge crowds and delivered a record-breaking purse of £18 million. Eubank Jr. took the bigger share—55%—earning him about £10 million ($12.5 million USD). It was his biggest payday yet and pushed his net worth to an estimated $10 million overall.
The fight itself was a 12-round war that reminded older fans of their fathers’ legendary battles. Eubank Jr. emerged victorious by unanimous decision, giving Conor Benn his first professional loss.
Highest Payouts and Career Earnings
The Benn fight wasn’t Eubank Jr.’s first big paycheck. He earned £2.4 million for his 2023 rematch with Liam Smith and £775,000 for fighting George Groves in 2017. But the Benn fight cemented him as one of the highest-paid British boxers of his generation.
What Comes Next for Chris Eubank Jr.
At 35, Eubank Jr. still has some fight left in him. With the Benn rivalry settled (for now), fans wonder if a rematch could happen or if he’ll chase another world title in the middleweight or super-middleweight divisions. His IBO title win over Kamil Szeremeta in 2024 shows he’s still hungry for belts and big nights under the lights.
Final Thoughts
Chris Eubank Jr. has done what many sons of legends struggle to do—step out of his father’s shadow and become a champion in his own right. With an estimated net worth of $10 million and a career that still has potential, Eubank Jr. remains one of British boxing’s biggest names and a fighter who always knows how to keep the rivalry alive.
